Sorry for not having any new postings and not updating my site's cover page. Until the middle of last summer I considered myself to be doing a good job of informing all of you with an interest in heart health and a more healthy lifestyle. I had planned on a gradual change to another level of becoming more focused on providing heart health information to you that would better help you understand your personal health and plan a course of what would be best for you. I also wanted to go more into healthy foods, and spend less time about my own experiences related to my personal health.
Speaking of personal experiences I have recently had friends tell me how healthy I look. Not meaning a younger or more physical fit me. Just an overall appearance of being healthy. My next posting will be about this subject.
If Cindy's health continues to be stable I plan on getting back to spending more time on this site and postings after the beginning of next year.
Safe and Happy Holidays to you and your family.............................

Triglycerides Follow Up #141
Triglycerides were discussed in #101 for your reference. We will go somewhat further in determining how they effect our health.
Triglycerides come from the liver and various foods you may consume. They are a type of fat in the blood which provide energy or stored until needed. They are a direct result of your digestive system's process of breaking down fats from food. Consuming too much in fatty foods can produce more triglycerides than your body needs, or can use, resulting in more stored fats than your energy levels require.
Again as we said in #101 this is another example of consuming more of a needed natural body compound than we require which results in ill health issues.
Medical studies and research have shown high levels of triglycerides could contribute or maximize the negative effects of high cholesterol and high blood pressure on your cardiovascular health.
How do you control or improve high triglyceride levels? Eat more foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. Regular moderate exercise and weight control along with eating a healthy diet should improve your triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
Regular readers and followers of this blog recognize this common thread woven through most of the issues concerning heart disease and our ability as heart patients to overcome those. Eating a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet means more than eating salads and fish. You should eat foods that will address the issues associated with heart disease. Lower high cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, control sugar levels that lead to diabetes, and weight loss.
